Laboratory analysis of CHNOPS (Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Sulphur) by EA-TCD

What are CHNOPS?

The term CHNOPS is a mnemonic acronym for the six main chemical elements that make up living things. They are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S).

When we talk about CHON, we are referring to the first four chemical elements on this list.

As a result, all biological molecules (or biomolecules) contain carbon and hydrogen like lipids. Nitrogen is found in amino acids and nucleic bases (the main constituents of proteins and genetic material), in many co-factors and prosthetic groups.

Oxygen is particularly present in carbohydrates and in many functional groups. Phosphorus is involved in the structure of nucleic acids and phospholipids (which play a major structural role in biological membranes) and in the energy metabolism of cells by ADP.

Finally, sulphur is part of the composition of many proteins through two animated acids (cysteine and methionine) where it plays a catalytic or structural role.

The CHNOPS are all of paramount importance in the field of exobiology. CHON are also found in type C asteroids. They are the ones that most frequently collide with the Earth.
